No, what do you need the pinout for?

Hmm, I don't know of the pinout, but I'd suggest either get a cheap Vostro 230 case on eBay or get a different non-Dell board. As much as I like Dell computers, I only have 1 (out of way too many) that has a standard front panel pinout.

oshit im totally blind and didn't see that the pinouts were different. I suppose you could try out this layout and then just ignore the extra column of pins on the one side. Worked for me with an old 775-based board so maybe you could get lucky too.
